BEST ANSWER:I think you'll have to go to the manufacturer for that information. It can be enzymatically derived from any starch. In the US, its commonly derived from corn and you would be safe, but you might not want to take that chance.

BEST ANSWER:If it calls for dextrin, this is the correct item. Make sure it does not say dextrose. That recipe seems weird, very thick, I do not think that sounds good - make sure it does not say dextrose.
